[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

    I hiked along the southern edge of my property today.  Much of the 
alder that had blown down in 2007 has crumbled into soil.  I found it 
easier to traverse as did a number of elk.  They were cutting across 
from the intermittent stream to get to the canyon on the other side.  
After the thinning there's not much for them to eat yet, they're just 
passing through for now.  Once I got to near the middle I found a cross 
path leading to the marsh east of here.

    I checked forty meters just after sunset.  Some activity from 2 land 
and then from someone in 6 calling a 7.  It may be time to move the net 
times one hour or more later.  Comments and recommendations would be nice.

    I have also been thinking of trying something on a mid-week 
evening.  On forty or eighty meters.  Kind of an open meeting area for 
discussions and contacts.  Not a directed net but some means of passing 
control around would be good.  It would be nice to have something for 
the SSB, digital, RTTY, and SSTV folks as well as those of us who use 
CW.  A Wednesday or Thursday night at or near the watering holes for the 
various modes.  A round robin net where control passes from one op to 
the next with the last person calling CQ to find the next victim.  Pass 
control around the circle a few times until all questions have been 
asked and answered.  Once again comments and recommendations are requested.


Please join us on (or near):

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
   7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)

    73,
